Topeka, KS-based hip hop group, The Skeptics, have only been active for about a year-and-a-half. But they nearly sold out their show at the Jackpot in Lawrence just a couple of weeks ago, according to Lawrencian, Johnny Quest. This is not a small feat, especially when...
Grammy-noted jazz composer and producer Roy Hargrove swung through the Foundation on Friday night, which turned out to be a pretty wild night in Kansas City with a lot of events going down. I first went to see Matty G at the Midland Theater downtown, and his minimal,...
Several months ago, a contributing writer for Demencha wrote a blog post requesting that our readers give her some suggestions for local female musicians. I really appreciated the article; because I too am an avid fan of a strong and talented female songwriter, lead female...

This is an interview we did over the phone with Northern California-based dubstep producer and DJ, Matty G, last month. Be sure to check him out live at the Midland Theater in downtown KCMO with Caspa and more on Friday, February 3rd. p.s. The first person who listens to this...
I am many things. I used to be a classically trained violinist. I'm still a poorly trained guitarist and an untrained bassist. I'm a soccer geek, I support Tottenham Hotspur. I tweet in uncontrollable tweetsplosions. I speak spanish. I love seafood, lasagna and cold pizza almost...

Having lived all over the country in places like Philadelphia, Texas and Chicago among others, Lawrence, Kansas seems like an odd place for MORRI$’ patented style of dreamy trap beats and DJ mixes to come out of. Soon to enroll back in school at KU as a film major, the blog...

Off his All Nighter mixtape comes another official video, this one for "Disguise" over Common's "Ghetto Dreams" beat. The last video I saw and heard from the same mixtape was really kind of an eye-opener to Irv's lyricism and delivery. To me, he's one of those artists that...
10. Young Fate - "All Gass" [prod. Mr. Fresh] Ladies and gentlemen, hit play and start your engines. This video player popped up in February and sees Fate spitting game over a real heat-rock from Mr. Fresh. While Young Fate verses are on my brain, his 16 on Ron Ron’s...
Being asked to write this article just further proves that I’m like a movie critic when it comes to judging music. I can tell you what I hate, and exactly why I think it sucks, but when asked to come up with a top-ten list this year, I was just kind of like “uhhh..i...
